Question:

Quinine (C20H24N2O2) is the most important alkaloid derived from cinchona bark. It is used as an antimalarial drug. For quinine pKb = 5.1 and pKb2 = 9.7 (pKb = 2log Kb). Only 1.0 g of quinine will dissolve in 1900.0 mL of solution. Calculate the pH of a satrated aqueous solution of quinine. Consider only the reaction

described by pKb1, where Q= quinine.
